Vote on development assistance scheduled for December 17th

Action will be likely be taken at the December 17th Village Board meeting to approve significant development incentives for the new owners of the Lakewood building (3575 Oakland), according to confidential documents and sources close to the deal.  I have no desire to hurt either the Village or the owners/developers of the site, so I will not disclose the confidential amounts or nature of the assistance to be given. 

I bring this up so my readers can attend the meeting if they so desire, to provide input on the matter.  As for me, I am disappointed that this type of vote/action is taking place in the midst of the holiday season, when people are paying less attention than usual to municipal matters.

I find it difficult to understand why any discussion or information dealing with public assistance of an type must be confidential.  How are citizens to know what is going on if they can't get information.  Obviously you have information.  How do I go about getting this information as well?
